Tribunal de apelações do Colorado anula sentença de nove anos de prisão de Tina Peters

Um painel do Tribunal de Apelações do Colorado anulou a sentença de nove anos de prisão imposta à ex-escrivã do Condado de Mesa, Tina Peters, decidindo que o tribunal de primeira instância considerou indevidamente suas crenças sobre a fraude eleitoral de 2020, violando seus direitos previstos na Primeira Emenda. O tribunal manteve suas condenações por sete crimes relacionados ao acesso não autorizado a máquinas de votação e ordenou uma nova sentença. Peters continua sendo uma criminosa condenada, declararam as autoridades.

Os juízes Craig R. Welling, Ted C. Tow III e Lino Lipinsky emitiram um parecer de 78 páginas na quinta-feira, afirmando que o tribunal de primeira instância 'foi além das considerações relevantes' ao levar em conta a defesa contínua de Peters sobre a integridade eleitoral de 2020. 'Sua ofensa não foi sua crença... foram suas ações enganosas', observou o parecer. O painel concluiu que a sentença visava, em parte, desencorajar seu discurso, o que consideraram inadmissível, e remeteu o caso ao juiz Matthew Branch, do 21º Distrito Judicial, para uma nova sentença. Nenhuma data foi definida, e a elegibilidade anterior de Peters à liberdade condicional em novembro de 2028 será alterada de acordo.
